Psychology

University of Iowa

John Spencerworked on a book that summarizes a theoretic approach for thinking about brain-behavior relations—the Dynamic Field Theory. This neural network approach was initially applied to issues in spatial cognition but has now been extended to a host of issues in visuo-spatial cognition, motor control, autonomous robotics, word learning, and executive function.
